Requiescat in Pace, Excelsior!
The feisty writer, editor and publisher was responsible for such iconic characters as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and the Fantastic Four — 'nuff said
Comic book genius Stan Lee, the architect of the
contemporary comic book, has died. He was 95.
The creative dynamo who revolutionized the comics by
introducing human frailties in superheroes such as Spider-Man, The Fantastic
Four and The Incredible Hulk, was declared dead Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles, according to Kirk Schenck, an attorney for Lee's
daughter, J.C. Lee.
As the top writer at Marvel Comics and later as its
publisher, he revived the industry in the 1960s by offering the costumes and
action craved by younger readers while insisting on sophisticated plots,
college-level dialogue, satire, science fiction, even philosophy.
Spider-Man, the Hulk and X-Men were among the Lee
creations that went on to become stars of blockbuster films. ~kwch
